Released in 1975, it brought together soft rock warmth, jazz phrasing and dry, conversational lyrics on songs such as Nightmoves, Popsicle Toes and Monkey See-Monkey Do. Franks’ laid-back vocal style and finely detailed writing made the record a favourite among listeners drawn to smooth, melodic jazz with pop clarity. Its enduring reputation rests on the balance it strikes between accessible hooks and understated musicianship, helping define the polished West Coast sound of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/michael-franks-vinyl-records\"\u003eMichael Franks\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/reprise-records-record-label\"\u003eReprise Records\u003c\/a\u003e – MS 2230\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP, Album, Repress\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_us\"\u003eUS\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReleased: \u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all\/year_1975\"\u003e1975\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pop-rock-vinyl-records\"\u003ePop \u0026amp; Rock\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jazz-funk\"\u003eJazz-Funk\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/soft-rock\"\u003eSoft Rock\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Michael+Franks+Nightmoves\"\u003eNightmoves\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Michael+Franks+Eggplant\"\u003eEggplant\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Michael+Franks+Monkey+See-Monkey+Do\"\u003eMonkey See-Monkey Do\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Michael+Franks+St.+Elmo's+Fire\"\u003eSt. Elmo'S Fire\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA5 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Michael+Franks+I+Don't+Know+Why+I'm+So+Happy+I'm+Sad\"\u003eI Don'T Know Why I'M So Happy I'M Sad\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Michael+Franks+Jive\"\u003eJive\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Michael+Franks+Popsicle+Toes\"\u003ePopsicle Toes\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Michael+Franks+Sometimes+I+Just+Forget+To+Smile\"\u003eSometimes I Just Forget To Smile\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Michael+Franks+Mr.+Blue\"\u003eMr. Blue\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Reprise Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44447541690433,"sku":"9327592","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/Mi5qcGVn_mS7xhKB.jpg?v=1787123019","url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/products\/michael-franks-the-art-of-tea-379943","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
